Congratulations on your retirement, Denise! 🎉

After more than 20 years of dedicated service, we’re celebrating Denise Methot, who officially retired on October 3, 2026.

Denise started with the Township in May 2006 and spent countless hours as our Arena Manager, making ice, keeping the arena in great shape, helping countless hockey players, figure skaters, families, and community members, and doing so much more behind the scenes to keep things running smoothly.

Her dedication, hard work and commitment to our community have meant so much over the years. The arena simply won’t be the same without her!

Thank you, Denise, for everything you’ve done and for all the memories you’ve helped create over the years. We wish you all the best in this next chapter, you’ve certainly earned it!

Congratulations on your retirement, Denise!
